Despite all the setbacks, the rollercoaster of emotions, injuries, and lack of consistency since her breakthrough in 2021, Emma Raducanu will keep trying. The British tennis player, currently ranked 25th in the WTA rankings, is always in the spotlight. Since surprising the tennis world by winning the 2021 US Open at just 18 years old, she has had to deal with constant pressure and high expectations.

After years of struggles where she fell out of the top 100, underwent surgeries on both arms, changed several coaches, and couldn't win more than three matches in a row, something shifted at the 2025 Miami Open. Her quarterfinal run in Florida, the first since the 2021 US Open, gave her the confidence to play a more aggressive and consistent game. While she hasn't claimed any titles yet, this change in approach has propelled her into the top 25 players in the world, leading to her reaching the final of the WTA Cluj-Napoca two weeks ago. A final she secured just two weeks after parting ways with Francis Roig.

Regarding her split from the Spanish coach, potential replacement options, and her recent experience at the Romanian tournament, she discussed them in an interview with The Guardian from Japan, after becoming the new ambassador for Uniqlo and ending a five-year partnership with Nike. Above all, she emphasized her strong self-belief and resilience power.

Emma Raducanu now trusts her tennis and herself more than ever

"Sport is a great vehicle for learning life lessons. I believe resilience is the most crucial lesson I can draw from this. With the season being so long, it's very challenging to be on the court all the time if you play all these now mandatory events."

"My goal is to give my best every day and strive to be the best version of myself. But I think I know that no matter what challenge comes my way, I can fall seven times, but I'll get up eight. That's something I carry with me. It serves me well in tough times."

The reason for her split from Francis Roig

"I think I had a great experience with Francis because we understood each other well, and the relationship was excellent. I think ultimately, we just didn't see eye to eye on certain key aspects. But we still have a very good relationship."

No rush to find a new coach

"At the moment, I wouldn't say I'm actively seeking a coach. Right now, I have Alexis Canter on my side. He knows me as a person. He knows me as a player. And, in fact, I had some success with him last year in Washington and Cluj, so for now, everything is going well. I know the drills I need to do right now, just repeating those key basics. I think I want to pick that up and develop a more aggressive style of play."

About her health in recent weeks

"In Cluj, I got infected like it was a virus, I believe, at the beginning of the tournament. So, I've been dealing with that and the aftermath. I had very prolonged effects over the past three weeks. I've been trying to overcome them. So, the journey to the Middle East was very challenging for me. Now I'm preparing for Indian Wells and trying to fully recover. I still have some time, so I'm looking forward to giving my best to be ready."

Looking forward to Wimbledon

"I'm incredibly excited. That month of the year on grass is something truly special that all Britons look forward to. It was my first major tournament, my first significant victory, my first big match. And it holds a special place. I feel like the British public has seen many steps I've taken as I've grown."

"Having to withdraw from that match in the fourth round and then, a few months later, winning the US Open was very special. I feel like everyone knows my story. So, returning to Wimbledon makes me feel very comfortable."

No solutions to the hate and threats she receives on social media

"In my case, I've accepted that this will continue to happen. As much as they try to do something about it, it seems like there are too many people, and there's no way to stop it. It's part of being in the limelight or having a public presence. If I didn't achieve anything, no one would talk about me, so I think it's crucial to be aware of it and accept that there's no way to stop it," stated Emma Raducanu, who, no matter how many obstacles are placed in her path, will continue to dodge them in her quest to become one of the best tennis players in the world.
